Elon Musk: There is a ‘massive cyberattack against X’

The X social media platform has been hit with a “massive cyberattack” that has prevented some users from accessing the site, platform owner Elon Musk confirmed on March 10.

“We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources. Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved,” Musk said.

Although user functionality was quickly restored, Musk implied that the attack was still ongoing.

At the time of writing, there were more than 33,000 reports of X outages on March 10, according to Downdetector.

Musk confirmed the cyberattack in response to a social media user who detailed a series of attacks against the entrepreneur’s interests, from protests against the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to vandalism of Tesla stores.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
